Shrimp & Black-Eye Pea Salad

Using fresh herbs and spices this dish creates a vibrant South American herb sauce chimichurri as a marinade for these tasty shrimp or cauliflower, and also as a dressing for the black-eyed pea and tomato salad. This traditional chimichurri recipe is made with ají molido, a sweet pepper powder similar to paprika, but slightly smokier.

Serves 4

·         1 cup packed parsley leaves, finely chopped

·         1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

·         1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

·         2 tablespoons finely chopped oregano

·         2 small garlic cloves, minced

·         1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

·         1 tablespoon smoked paprika

·         Kosher salt

·         Freshly ground pepper

·         20 large shrimp, shelled and deveined

·         2 cups cooked or thawed frozen black-eyed peas

·         2 cups yellow cherry tomatoes, halved

·         2 cups baby kale or spinach

1.      In a medium bowl, whisk the parsley with the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic and crushed red pepper. Season the chimichurri generously with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with 1/4 cup of the chimichurri and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2.     Preheat large skillet. Season the shrimp lightly with salt and pepper, sauté until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

3.     In a large bowl, toss the black-eyed peas with the tomatoes, kale and 1/4 cup of the chimichurri; season with salt and pepper. Pile the salad on plates, top with the shrimp and serve, passing the remaining chimichurri at the table.
